24 ROCHESTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 24 ROCHESTER CLOSE sales between February 1999 and June 2018 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 2002 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 24 ROCHESTER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between June 2018 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Braintree local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 24 ROCHESTER CLOSE of £300,000 on 28th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £352,438 over the seven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
